Where's Ramsdale going? 'Cos they're already committed to buying Raya.

Possibly Ramsdale isn’t happy sitting on the bench at Arsenal and Jason Steele is ?

Fully expect Pears to Barcelona at some point then

Arsenal need City to slip up away against Spurs to win. United a mess. Playing Phil Jones would probably be a better choice than Casemiro or Evans

[Vinjay]

What a effortless job Man City have done replacing legends like Aguero, Kompany and Silva. Arsenal have done well to sustain their challenge this far.

[Mattyblue]

Do you get chance to get over to the Etihad much these days, Vinners?

Give me their cheque book and I could do the same. Want a centre half for the future ? Just sign Gvardivol, the best young centre half coming through. Want a goalscorer ? Just sign Haaland, a goal machine. It’s piss easy.

To be fair Pep has done ok in that regard, even with the money. Regenerating a squad into a new squad whilst keeping on top is the sign of a good manager.

It's what Fergie continuously did that made him the greatest manager of the PL era, even when the likes of Chelsea arrived with bigger budgets.

Amazing what being funded by a nation state can do.

Guardiola's whole career in football is tainted. From a failed drugs test as a player, to Barcelona paying the vice-president of the Spanish refereeing committee and now to Man City's 115 charges.

[Norbert Rassragr]

It's easy to win when you're playing like you have a Football Manager data editor and almost limitless money but you cock it up massively too. I can't see someone like Owen Coyle winning the treble, or anything if he took over Man City this season. 

Pep built that all conquering Barcelona team but since then has found it pretty easy. I honestly think he'd struggle to win/challenge for the title if he left and took over Aston Villa or Spurs.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

There’s a good article in my paper today were Jamie Redknapp talks about Spurs v City whilst contrasting that game with the famous Liverpool v Rovers end of season game back in the day. Yes, he was trying to score with that free kick.

[Norbert Rassragr]

Tottenham fans are singing "Are you watching Arsenal?" since Haarland scored against them. What a sad small club mentality.

[RoverDom]

Can't be fucked with city winning the league again. Can't wait till pep leaves. 

[Vinjay]

Not many things worse than that Norbert. Astonishing really considering the chance of finishing 4th was still there. Haaland of course is an enigma and it's so unfortunate that he will miss out on Euro 2024.

Football is a funny old game - remember West Ham denying United the title on the last day of the season in 1995.  Could lightning strike twice and they deny City?  Hope they do, would be good for football if Arsenal triumph.

[Ewood Ace]

So for the second year in a row on Sunday we will have the preposterous event of the club currently facing 115 charges from the Premier League being congratulated and presented with the Premier League title by the Chief Executive of the very same Premier League.

Nah, better if city wins. Shows it up for being the farce that it all is.

As if we wouldn't do the same if it were Burnley?

Half of our songs are focused on Burnley and we're not even in the same division as them...

[ABBEY]

er yes we are.
